Halo 3 Original Soundtrack (2-CD Set)

Although i think this edition of game score is my least favorite of the three I still enjoyed it. Having two discs of content is great but it just feels like they stretched it out to much. Music doens't flow quite as well as the other two editions. All in all it has some issues IMO but I still like it and the HALO music has been wonderful and epic from the begining.

Don't waste your money on the soundtrack for Halo 3. All the good stuff is on the first two soundtracks. There's nothing here that makes me want to play a track over and over and over like "Brothers in Arms" from Halo 1 or "Unyielding" from Halo 2.

Halo 3 is a remix of the good parts of the first two and a lot of it sounds like its done with a synthesizer; makes for good filler.

There doesn't seem to be a connection between the tracks of this soundtrack and the game (which I really like); just random bits of different tracks all strung together. For example, when I hear the track "Lament for Private Jenkins", I can picture the Master Chief catching Jenkins body when it falls thru the door. Nothing like that here.

This soundtrack is good for background music just to have something playing.

To say I'm disappointed with this product doesn't do justice to the word "disappointed".

You know music is great if it gives you goosebumps and chills down your spine. That's what happened to me when I listened to the Ending suites. Marty and Mikey did a fantastic job polishing and rearanging old and new music for this, the final game in the Halo trilogy.

Let's not forget the packaging either. The two disc case has the classic look of the previous releases yet with a bit of a darker feel. The Arbiter and Master Chief adorn the first disc and The Chief and Cortana adorn the second disc, both discs featuring the characters in a dull shadowy color to keep with the dark mood.

In short, there isn't much here that I don't like. I highly recomend.

The above title describes what you say while playing the game after listening to this CD. Pretty soon you'll be freaking out your buddies by mock conducting it and saying dun dun da-da-da-daaa dun to the tune. Besides that, the music is awesome! Great orchestral music in a great FPS (First Person Shooter for you non-gamers) If you're thinking "Video game music? There's a CD for that now?" You are the biggest n00b in history.

Not only are the CDs everything I was hoping for and more, I got a good deal for them. Plus they were shipped and received promptly.
